At a glance
Port summary
Naples Cruise Port lies at Molo Angioino right next to Stazione Marittima — the iconic 1936 cruise terminal at the foot of the historic centre. The walled UNESCO old town is a 10-minute walk through Piazza Municipio, and Pompeii is reachable in about 35 minutes by Circumvesuviana train from Porta Nolana (€3.20 each way). Most cruise lines berth at Molo Angioino; larger ships sometimes use Calata di Massa or Molo San Vincenzo, both still walkable to the city. Allow generous return time when day-tripping to Pompeii, Vesuvius or Capri — Naples traffic and ferry weather can both bite.
